First Moths Of 1972 Seen In Central Texas Peanut Belt
Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C. White reports the first lesser cornstalk borer moths captured for 1972 in Central Texas, with De Leon Peanut Research Lab traps finding moths March 13 two miles west of De Leon. White notes the species has arrived about 15 days earlier each year for four years and urges farmers to scout fields, sending specimens to De Leon for identification. The notice includes guidance on detecting and treating infestations and cautions against unsafe tree repair methods.
